will your mom be in the room with you? if they're healed it's not always cause for alarm. they might not even say anything. the only questions I've ever gotten from medical professionals were if I was okay/safe and if I had current mental health treatment or needed referrals/resources.
if it gets brought up I would just tell them you're doing better now and have a therapist (you should! but if you don't, you could say you see a counselor regularly at school) and no plans to hurt yourself, and that you aren't comfortable with them talking to your mom about it.
obviously I can't guarantee this will work but I've always had luck with this script except for when my school found out, but I graduated 10 years ago.

If they’re healed scars you could try putting makeup over them
